"It's Five O'clock" is a song by the Greek band Aphrodite's Child from their 1969 studio album It's Five O'Clock. It was also released as a single, in February 1970, on Mercury Records.

The song was written by Evangelos Papathanassiou and Richard Julian Francis.[1] The song reached no. 6 in Switzerland and no. 11 in the Netherlands.[1] Italian singer Milva in 1981 released a German-language version titled "Kennst du das auch?" and a French-language version titled "Le drapeau de l'humanité".

A new studio version by ex-Aphrodite's Child vocalist Demis Roussos was included on his 1987 album The Demis Roussos Story on the label BR Music. The recording was also released as a single from that album (in 1987 on BR Music).[2]
